MOTORFOR O PERATING CHURNS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 224,430, dated February10, 1880.

- Application filed June 19, 1879. I i

' To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, JOHN HENDERSON,JEREMIAH M. HENDERSON, and J UsTIN N OT- soN, of Leon, in the county ofDecatur and State of Iowa, have invented a new and Improved Motor forOperating Ohurns, of which the following is a specification.

The object of our invention is to provide a churn by means of whichlarge and small quantities of butter can be produced, as may be desired,and which is easily operated and is simple in its parts.

The invention consists of the arrangement of two dashers, which areoperated by means of two disks provided with pins that take in theslotted shafts of the dasher's, these disks being fastened to the end ofa horizontal shaft,

which is'rotated by means of a crank and bevel-gearing.

' In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section. Fig. 2is a' vertical crosssection. Figs. 3 and 4 are detail views of theslotted shaft and the pin-wheel. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the dasher.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

Ais the cream-box, which may be of any suit-.

able form. It may be divided into two parts by means of the removablepartition B.

G is the lid of the cream-box, and supports the machinery by which thechurn is 0perated, and has two openings, D D, through which the verticalshafts T of the dashers pass.

E E are standards which support the crosspiece F. This cross-piece isslotted at tt, and is provided with the guide-pieces G G, which guidethe bars II. To these bars are fastened the slotted pieces K K and thecylindrical receptacles J The shafts of the dashers T T fit into J J,and are secured by the pins jj. The standards H H support the horizontalshaft N, to ends of which the disks M M, provided with the projectingpins n n, are fast-ened.

The shaft is provided with a bevel cogwheel, Q, the teeth of .which takein the teeth of the bevel cog-wheel P, which is double the size of Q,andis secured to the end of the shaft X, which is at right angles to N,and is supported by the standard S. It is provided with a crank, R, andhandle V.

The dash U is provided with holes 8.

- Theoperation is as follows: If the shaft X is rotated by means of thecrank R and handle V the motion will be imparted to the cogwheel P, andby this to the cog-wheel .Q and the shaft N. As the wheel P isabout'double the size of Q, the shaft N will revolve about twice as fastas X. The disks M, which revolve with the shaft N, have pins n, whichfit into the slots L of the slotted bars K, and thus transform therotary motion into a reciprocating motion, and thus raise and depressthe dasher as is required. The dasher-shaft is guided by the openings DD in the cover 0 and by the bars I I and guide-pieces G G. The pins onthe disks M M are so arranged that one dasher is raised at the same timethat the other is lowered;

The partition B is used when a small quantity of milk is tobe churned.The milk is thusconfined to one part of the cream-box; or the partitionmay also bensed when difi'erentgrades of milk are to be churned at thesame time.

If only one dasher is to be used the other may easily be removed bydrawing out the pin j, taking the shaft T out of the receptacle J, andthe bar I out of the guide-hole tin the cross-piece F.

By using our churn a very large quantity of milk can be churned with thegreatest ease and with great rapidity; or the churn may be adapted tochurn only a very small quantity of milk, and thus one churn will answerfor all quantities, and avoid the neces sity of having several churns ofdifferent capacities.

Having thus described our invention, we
